The University of Oregon School of Music and Dance stands as the leading music education institution in the Pacific Northwest. Boasting the most extensive full-time, resident music faculty on the West Coast north of Los Angeles, our distinguished professors regularly perform and conduct research across local, national, and international stages, offering students direct insight into professional artistic and academic careers.
Performance majors receive weekly one-on-one instruction from faculty specialists. Students can participate in both large ensembles and benefit from personalized guidance from our accessible, dedicated instructors.
As part of UO's music program, you'll join a vibrant community where artists and scholars collaborate in learning, performing, and socializing. We encourage creative exploration—our students and faculty push boundaries and innovate within a nurturing, family-like atmosphere.
UO's ensemble programs focus on diverse musical traditions and formats, offering both large and small group experiences while developing the next generation of skilled musicians.
